Mike if you only ask your question once it will get answered posting the same question several time all over the place folks will just look at it and  not reply thinking they have already seen it or answered it elsewhere.

Hi mnmike,

Welcome,

I am new to this site as well, not new to smoking however but new to the Bradley ,

I would say 4lbs would take between 4 to 6 hrs you want about 195 internal about 1.5 hrs per pound then let it rest for 1/2 hour lightly covered in foil before you cut or pull it to allow it to relax.

Good luck.

Also the board has been slow the past few days as everyone is spending time with family.

Also keep in mind that not every one that looks at you post are members.    Lots of guest stop in a look and they don't usually post.

Welcome Mike.  Most folks here are not going to be able to give you a definitive time because most of us go by the internal temp of the meat.  Pork roast, pork butt or pork loin?  If you're looking to do pulled pork with a butt, take the IT to around 190-200.  If you want sliced butt, take the IT to around 165-170.  If it's a pork loin roast, take it out when the IT is at around 145-150.

Frankly, a lot of it has to do with the pig that your pork roast came from.

Yea, a good temperature probe is a must as already reasoned above. But I have to say way to go in getting to 225 degs on a 15 deg day!
